Digital cameras are marketed with specifications of UP TO 10X or 20X zoom. But is that really true? Well, they are not lying. But the truth lies in the Optical Zoom.
Digital zoom make use of in build software to digitally enlarge the image thus obtaining higher zoom range. The end result of a photo taken with Digital zoom is just like a photo that you have taken without any zoom and enlarged on your computer with a crop. You lose image details as there were not as much pixels captured but rather enlarged pixels to fill the aspect ratio. And one thing about Digital zoom is that its more prone to producing blur image.
I once downloaded about 10-20 apps on my iPhone from Installous over wireless over a period of about 2 weeks without backing up (syncing with iTunes). When I finally decided to do a backup, something happened. As it was syncing and about to finish, someone called me and the backup was interrupted. As the files are all rather big and it will take a while to backup, I figured out that I should put my iPhone in airplane mode before syncing so as to prevent any interruption.
I was learning to modify some themes which requires me to SSH into my iPhone. I was using iPhone Browser and when I tried to view my root folder, it says “Sorry, you need a jailbroken device to view the root partition”.
Even though my iPhone is jailbreaked. I got the above error msg. Go to Cydia and install “afc2add“. I was able to connect to the root partition after installing this package.
If you are not able to find the package after searching, try to find it in the ModMyi.com’s source.
Many of us often like to listen to some music before going to sleep. But where is the sleep mode in iPhone or iPod Touch? We used to have like 10, 20 or 30 minutes sleep mode in our MP3 player. Now for your iPhone or iPod Touch etc, you can go to Clock and then Timer. Tap on “When Timer Ends” and you will see the below image.
Jailbreaking is basically modifying the iPhone’s firmware so that you can get access to the internals of its operating system and therefore allowing you to install many other third-party applications that are not available on the App Store on your iPhone.
Jailbreaking your iPhone doesn’t make very much of a difference in the operation part of it. But it does gives you a new meaning to owning an iPhone. Thanks to all the developers.
The good thing about jailbreaking is that there are many useful and interesting applications available through other channels available to you that will never make it to the App Store due to SDK restrictions.
I recently bought a third party iPhone Sync cable for use at my office so that I don’t have to bring my original iPhone cable to and fro. Everything works as normal with the third party cable. But the thing is it will not charge when connected to a pc or laptop. It can sync. But it won’t charge. If you would like to use it to charge, you will need to connect it to the usb of the power adapter.
iPhone 4G has already been announced. It’s a really stunning new piece of gadget. The greatest improvement in my opinion is the flash for the camera and the beautiful display screen. I have been approached by friends who are going to buy an iPhone if they should wait for iPhone 4G. Recently, I have been introducing a lot to my friends who are using the stock iPhone 3Gs to go for jailbreak. And they have been happy since then.
iBlank is an application that allows you to easily create blank/transparent icons. This is useful when you would like to do custom modding for your iPhone. You can download this from Cydia.
When you launch the app, you will be able to select the number of blank icons you will need. Simply tap on the required number and it will be created for you. Do note that the higher the number, the longer it will take. But its not really too long. You will then get a pop-up saying that the icon has been successfully created.
Installous Error Downloading – I have been trying to download an app which I wanted. It’s a Singapore & Malaysia GPS map. I went through all the steps of searching for the app and downloading it in Installous. When I finally got it, it just shows the app connecting but nothing is being downloaded. After a good while, it gives you an error message “Download Failed“. I tried it many times and its always the same error. I tried many ways to try to get it working such as restarting the iPhone, uninstalling Installous and reinstalling it. Nothing helps.
